Chapter 1 System Setup basics

Once you've completed installation, you're ready to set up the Circulation

Plus/Catalog Plus applications. Check the details in the following sections before

you start.

Note:

If you're setting up Union Catalog Plus, please see Chapter 6, Building

your union."

About the setup chapters

The tasks in the setup chapters are presented in sequential order. You should

complete all of the setup tasks in a chapter before proceeding to the next chapter.
If you did not purchase both Circulation Plus and Catalog Plus, the following

table explains which setup chapters you are required to complete before using

the software:

If you purchased only Circulation Plus, complete

the tasks in these chapters:

If you purchased only Catalog Plus, complete

the tasks in these chapters:

Chapter 2, Setting up your site"

Chapter 2, Setting up your site"

Chapter 3, Preparing to catalog your collection"

Chapter 3, Preparing to catalog your collection"

Chapter 4, Setting up Acquisitions

Chapter 4, Setting up Acquisitions

Chapter 5, Preparing to circulate your collection" Chapter 33, Setting up your search stations"

In addition to the setup tasks described in the chapters above, you might also

want to customize your MARC bibliographic and authority templates. This

procedure is described in Appendix C, Bibliographic and authority templates."

This function is not available on Mac OS.

Note:

The instructions in the setup chapters assume that you've already

barcoded your collection and your patron library cards. If you haven't

done this, you'll need to do so before you can circulate your collection

using Circulation Desk or before using OPAC. If Follett Software has

converted your patron and library material data for you, complete the

setup chapters first, and then import your data.
